1st up: The good side of doing a PhD - Conferences/workshops in amazing places! :-D
One week in the snowy mountains beginning of February (not so snowy during the summer....). Workshop from Tuesday till Friday morning, I went down 2 days early with Nem and Nick to enjoy the mountains. Great walk of 20km up to Mount Kosciuszko, highest point on mainland Australia! :-D
The track we followed
Did I say no snow? we found one little patch!!! wouhououou ;)
Enjoying the view (Nem, Nick and me, the Astrophotonics crew ;) )
aaaaaah :)
Little fellow we met on the way...
Finally got there after a good walk! On top of Australia! :)
On our way from Jyndabine, where we stayed the first 2 days, to Lake Crackenback, where the workshop was, we saw this huge eagle from really close by on the road! AMAZING!!!!! unfortunately I only got pics from them in the sky... (papa tu vas adorer ici!!!)
Arrived at lake Crackenback, I go on the terrace of the appartment we stayed in
Not to bad ey to stay for a few days?
especially with the morning meditation/yoga/stretch along with the kangoroos!!! :-D
Little personal photo session with one of them after morning stretch
The Macquarie photonics group
Nick and me in front of our first posters :) Nick won 2nd price for his!!!!
(That's pretty good for being a 1st year PhD student and having only 3-4 months of work behind the back!)
